I love the cool nights, Roonetta but I'd love a few more gloriously sunny, warm days too!

Yoga day 21 done. I’m with you, MotherForkin, I’m not ready to say goodbye to the warm sunny days just yet, even if it is nice to have cooler nights.

Days exercised 125.

20 mins On Cross trainer, 20 mins on treadmill and 10 mins girvan abs.

Days exercised 152

Pt session tonight. I almost died 😂 seriously not been that useless in the gym since I started, I think I actually had more energy when I started. Don't feel sore or anything, I'm blaming my period for feeling like crap. I haven't even managed to hit any target this week on my Fitbit, it's been pathetic. But as my pt said I've come a long way since the start of the year, so having a bad week now and again isn't a bad thing.

I did end last week well, did 3 sessions in a row! Maybe that messed me up, but hoping I'll be back on form next week.

Yoga day 22 done. I wish she wasn’t so keen on downward facing dog.

HotWaterBottles, sometimes it’s just like that. I have days when I get through a really hard DVD without modifying or falling behind, and days when a 15-minute yoga practice just feels like too much.

Days exercised 126.

5 mile WWL done ✅

Days exercised 127

30 min power zone endurance class

Yoga day 23 done.

Days exercised 127.

30 min sweat steady ride done. That was grim 4 min intervals in a pyramid

Absolute disaster of a week. I managed a short sea swim this evening but it was quite choppy so I didn't want to stay in too long. Needed it mentally more than physically so at least it was good for that. Back to proper exercise tomorrow.

Yoga day 24 done. Lots of balancing, which I can always tell is good for me even though I’m wobbling and cursing.

Sorry it’s been a bad week, MotherForkin - hope next week is better.

Days exercised 128.

Also hoping this week will be better for you MotherForkin

A few days to record:
Some treadmill, some cross trainer, biceps and abs a couple of days ago

5km hill walk yesterday (soooo hot)

Today a 30 min run on a treadmill that felt like it was going to explode and some abs

Days exercised 155

Thought I would share this as it's so lovely (it's public on IG)
CDE is a peloton instructor, posted it in the order it happened

That's lovely, Pelo, thanks for sharing.

I'm OK, thanks though. I'm really tired and have a headache for the last few days because of the constantly changing weather and we got some potentially expensive news that's completely out of our control so I'm just feeling sorry for myself. To be honest exercise probably would have made me feel better if I'd just pushed myself! Anyway, I'm making ds come for a cycle with me this afternoon to check our bikes before school restarts next week (how did that come around so fast??).

Days exercised 111.

Thanks Pelo, that made me smile 😊

Well done Sophie, you're killing it at the moment

Sorry to hear you are struggling Motherforkin. Can't believe kids are back next week, it has flown by. We might be able to get back to some normality at least. Hope next week is better for you

Walk to/from work

Days exercised 128

Yoga day 25 done. I’m envious of people whose DC are back next week, DD isn’t back till 7th September!

Days exercised 129.

Mine aren't back until 5th either Professor

30DS L1 D6 done ☑️

Days exercised 129

Forced myself to go for a swim this evening. I'm telling myself I feel better for it.

Are you both in England? I didn't realise the schools back so late. Mind you, I think it's the psychology of going back the last day of August that makes it seem so early.

Days exercised 112

30 min spin done

Yes I'm in England Motherforkin. Good to see you got a swim in

3 mile WWL done ✅

Days exercised 130

Celebrating my 75th spin class today!

Well done on 75 spins, Pelo!
